As a white man, I am tired of white people being made to kiss the black man''s butt. It is time for the white man to stand up and hit back.

Males..ye got it better..keithle their kin was taken and put on ships and done the dirty work..Keith my kin never owned slaves. never. Maine and MA never did. I know I am Maine born. Ye a person..I am white. so what..

You can always count on more than a few young black men having a long rap sheet.

Call them "black." Enough of this "African American" nonsense. No one is leaving USA to go back to Africa to leave. Other than skin color, body type, facial features, etc, what do black Americans have in common with black Africans?

They can stay with me. They''ll wish they were in prison.

I stand by what I said. White males in this country are not permitted the same freedom of speech as everyone else. If we do voice the truth, we are fired or vilified as ''racist''. THAT''s discrimination. We are denied jobs we are better qualified for simply because of the color of our skin and/or gender. After overcoming the advantages other minorities receive in scholarships, job placement, etc and decades of equal rights laws for minorities (gender/race) we expect a equal opportunity and fair treatment.

The NAACP should realize this isn''t a black/white thing, it''s a male/female thing. Women are victims, men are abusers. Remember the Duke rape case? Those three white men were GUILTY until finally proven innocent, and the black women, the only one who actually committed a crime, was not charged with anything. Not everything is so black and white.

"I regret what I did. I wish I could take it back every day," Heather Johnston, 19, tearfully told Judge Mary Staley.

The key word is TEARFULLY; I don''t know what it is with us but whenever a white woman turns on the waterworks during a trial or even times of stress, there''s a tendancy to feel sorry for them and lighten up. This could be during trail sentencing,the workplace or anywhere else; it happens time and time again and has for many years. The tears do not seem to be as effective for women of other races who will tell you they despise the action as it makes people think all women are weak and cannot take pressure. Check back on some of the more reported trials with white women and see how many references there are to tears. Absolutely sickening, especially when the "punishment" does not fit the crime.

Notice there is no outrage over this story:

"Village Voice Editor Apologizes for Racial Slur

PHOENIX %u2014 The co-owner and executive editor of alternative newspaper chain Village Voice Media has apologized for using a racial slur at a journalism gathering.

Michael Lacey was accepting an award from the local chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists on Friday when he used the N-word to refer to his late friend, Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Tom Fitzpatrick. His short speech also included vulgar phrases.

The group also presented a special recognition award to the mother of late East Valley Tribune sportswriter Bob Moran, a black journalist.

Moran died last month, and his mother was accompanied by fellow Tribune journalist Billye Paulson, who also is black.

Paulson called the speech "offensive" and sent an angry e-mail to Lacey demanding an apology.

"I found your acceptance speech at the April 4 SPJ awards banquet disgusting, inappropriate and vulgar. And I DID take offense. But the obscenities take a back seat to the use of the n-word, which was not necessary and very insulting," she wrote in the e-mail."


or this Article in their Phoenix New Times:

"Feathered ***
Sheriff Joe Arpaio''s approval rating at 55% statewide, 57% in Maricopa County."


If you are surprised, don''t be. The Village Voice Media is a liberal group of ''news''papers, and the NAACP and CBS probably don''t want to antagonize them or show that racism isn''t limited to so-called right-wingers.
